Father of motorcyclist who died in double fatal crash: 'My heart is broke'

Two young men are dead after a car and motorcycle collide in Lincoln Park Wednesday night.

Jake Browne was riding a motorcycle that t-boned another man's car at Dix and College Avenue at about 9:30 p.m. The identity of the driver of the Pontiac Sunfire has not been released by Lincoln Park police.

One day later, Browne's father held onto a piece of a broken necklace found at the intersection where his son was killed, along with another driver one day later.

"My sister had the other piece, I think it is a piece of his chain, I'm not sure," said Danny Dodge. "It could be the other kid's but I am hoping it is his. That will be the last thing I have of him."

"Words cannot describe how I feel right now. My heart is broke."

His son, he says, would be celebrating his 21st birthday this summer, adding that Jake loved to ride his motorcycle with his friends.

"He was talented, things happen," Dodge said. "You just can't take life for granted, you just can't."
